“After making appropriate enquiries and conducting some modelling, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. We have reduced contractual commitments, have enhanced our relationship with key funders, shown sufficient creativity and resilience in independent income generation and retain sufficient free cash reserves to meet our obligations. We secured an increased block grant settlement for 24/25, have secured a 3yr block grant for 2025-2028 and have ensured the merger with the Graduate Students' Association prioritises and protects funding for core student-facing services for the full range of undergraduate and postgraduate students.”

- “Saved students £1.7m by campaigning against University rent increases.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
